The Case Foundation's follow-up research and assessment report from their 2007-2008 America's Giving Challenge has been getting a lot of love on Twitter, and just in case you missed it, here it is:

The Giving Challenge: Assessment and Reflection Report

The report was written by the always fabulous Allison Fine and Beth Kanter.

A few highlights:

I was recently fortunate to speak with Allison Fine, an all-around do-gooder in the world of tech 2.0 (or whatever we're calling it these days - what are we calling it these days?) Among the many fabulous things for which Allison has been responsible, you might recall Give List, a crowdsourced a list of volunteery things that could be offered for Christmas. The project was developed in partnership with Techsoup/NetSquared C.E.O. Marnie Web.

Allison and I discussed - in essence - the planning of the order-of-operations used to put into action meaningful and effective web-outreach campaigns.

These varied social media suggestions make up the third part of my on-going case study of and strategy suggestions for the United Church of Christ's social media strategy, it's attempt to resonance with young people (Millennials in particular), and its potentially forward-moving direction.

What we know as an organization-led realm is in an interesting state of flux.

This is a subject I have a professional interest in, and hope to dissect in great detail over the course of the Millennials Changing America Tour. I'll be blogging some of my findings here, and much of the concentration of my NetSquared coverage of the tour will focus on this shift.  

We spend much of our time trying to connect the nonprofit (and the nonprofit minded) with the technologies necessary for the advancement of institutional altruism. However, we spend relatively little time looking at how the technologies necessary for advancement are changing the landscape of the nonprofit realm.
